Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 3, 1912. Serial No. 701,295.

Patented Sept. 15, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, CATHERINE D. KooNs',

a cltlzen of the United States, residing at St. James, in the county ofPhelps and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements Windows, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a vertical and sliding.window, and the primary object of the present lnventlon is to construct a window of the class described, wherebyaccess may be gained to the exterior face of the window panes from the interior of the room when cleaning the same.

Another object of the resent invention is to construct a device of t is character which will be inexpensive in the cost of manufacture, strong, durable and eflicient in use and one which will-be readily operated.

Other objects will appear hereinafter as the description continues.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel construction, combination, formation and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and particularly pointed out in the appended drawings, in whic Figure 1 is a front'elevation of a window frame showing my improved invention as applied thereto and showing the lower window sash in a raised position, Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the line 2-2 in the direction of the arrows, as shown, showing one of the sashes in an open position, Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view of a means of connection between the window sash and the window frame, Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 4-.4 of Fig. 1 and illustrating the lower swinging window in an open position, Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view illustrating the hinge connection, Fig. 6 is a detail perspective view of the lower hinge member, and Fig. 7 is a front elevation of one of the upper hinge members.

Reference now being had to the drawings, wherein like parts are illustrated by like numerals throughout the several views, the numeral 10 indicates an ordinary window frame having mounted on the inner face thereof, beads 11 forming a suitable guide way for the vertical sliding window sashes 12 and 13, respectively. Each of these vertical sliding window sashes is provided wlth a pair of swin ing sashes being hingedly secured at their inner ends and connected at their opposite ends, when-in a closed positending arms 14, their inner terminals being bent at right angles as at 15 to form substantially vertical supporting members to which the upper and lower extremities of the swinging windows are hingedly secured. The transverse extending portions 14 of these arms are preferably angular in cross section and the depending portion 16 thereof forms a suitable abutment for the swinging sashes and also keeps the air and cold from penetrating the window and gaining access to the room.

The angular bent portions 15 of the up er connecting arm of each of the window sas es is provided with a vertically extending recess 17 in which is adapted to rest the usual weight cord 18 of the vertical sliding sash and which is connected to the angular portions 15 by means of lips 19 which are cut out of the portion 15 and bent over the window cord for holding the same in a rigid position. The inner edge of the angular portions 15 of the connecting arms is provided with an extension 20, formed at right angles thereto and approximately the same width as the distance between'the abutment and one of the window beads. The outer extremity thereof is coiled as at 21 forming one member of the hinge corresponding in dimension and adapted to be connected to an opposite member 22 of that hinge which is secured to the swinging sashes and connected together by a pin in the usual well known manner.

It is obvious from the foregoing descrip! tion, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, that the transversely extending arms 14 provide means. for hingedly connecting the swinging sash and as the swinging sashes are permanently secured to the angular portions of the arms the frame of the swinging sashes forms a rigid construction whereby the sash may be vertically raised and lowered in the usual manner;

It is to be further understood that other minor details of construction may be resorted to that come within scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a window, a frame having vertical sash guide ways, a pair of sash frames each having its outer vertical rail engaging one of said guide ways, and the inner vertical rails meeting when the sash frames arein a closed position, relatively thin metallic strips extending along the upper and lower rails of the sash frames and having terminal ends bent to engage the outer vertical rails of said sash frames and slide in said guide ways, said terminal ends extending along the vertical rails for a relatively limited distance upwardly and downwardly, respectively, and hinged devices for said sash frames for hinging the same to said terminal ends, substantially as described.

2. In a window, a window frame'having vertical sash guide ways, a pair of sash frames slidable in said guide ways, and independent upper and lower members engaging the upper and lower rails on said sash frames and said guide ways and hingedly connected with the vertical rails on said sash frames, substantially as described.
